Some parting thoughts from Pastor Rod BY PAUL GROESSEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS Pastor Rod Anderson of St. Andrew Lutheran Church is moving on after 34 years of service with the congregation that he helped grow from nearly its very beginning to some 10,000 congregates in two locations. In that time, he has not only served his congregation, but the community, as founding board president for the area food shelf and emergency services nonprofit, PROP. He served as president for 24 years. He will soon be exiting as chair of the Eden Prairie Foundation, and has been a long-time Rotary Club member and Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce member. Those services are some of his tenure highlights, he said. Another is the Job Transition Networking Session that he helped expand 24 years ago. The group meets every Wednesday at the church, and May 11 was his last. At the meeting, people can find contacts for businesses, listen to speakers and connect with other job seekers. The group will continue once Anderson has left, he said. Jim Schimelpfenig, a church administrator and member for 32 years, and eight others will continue organizing the group. Anderson, known as “Pastor Rod,” sat down with the Sun-Current to talk about his tenure at the congregation, how it started, the job transition group and what thoughts as he prepared for his

Eden Prairie teen wants to reverse visual roles, raise funds for blindness cure BY PAUL GROESSEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS It’s a little more than just sisterly love. Sara Bushland, a 16-year-old Eden Prairie High School student, and five of her friends are looking to help people (including her younger sister) with a rare, genetic blindness, Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis, commonly referred to as LCA. “I decided to do a fundraiser for gene replacement therapy that will eventually help her see,” Sara said. The fundraiser, “From Darkness to Light: Mary Rose’s Walk,” will be a walk-a-thon, Saturday, May 21, at Round Lake Park, 16691 Valley View Road, across from Eden Prairie High School. Money raised will go toward the Foundation for Retinal Research, which looks into cures to genetic blindness, including the possible development of

nation of how the grant would be used. Here’s a brief breakdown:

BY PAUL GROESSEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS Thirty years later, the Eden Prairie Foundation keeps on giving. The foundation recently awarded just over $20,000 for its spring grants to a few local organizations, including the city of Eden Prairie. The foundation is an all-volunteer organization that has awarded around $1 million in grants to local nonprofits and tax-exempt programs since it began 30 years ago. It awards grants in the fall and spring. This spring, six separate grants were awarded to four different groups. The city of Eden Prairie received three grants, two for the Parks and Recreation Department and another for the Senior Center. The other three recipients were Chrestomathy Inc., the Eden Prairie Veterans Memorial Committee and PROP. During a reception on Thursday, May 12, at Olympic Hills Golf Club, representatives for each grant gave a brief expla-

Chrestomathy Inc. – $1,516 Executive Director Linda Moore said the grant money will be used to purchase four rocking chairs for its classrooms. They purchased one durable chair that has been popular, so the group requested four more. Chrestomathy is a day training and habilitation service for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities that has been open for 26 years, she said. There are three locations, including Minneapolis, Eden Prairie and Burnsville.

Firefighters getting state’s first high-rise fire simulator $549,000 project in original plans for South Metro Public Safety Training Facility BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS Local firefighters will soon be able to train in the state’s first high-rise fire simulator at the South Metro Public Safety Training Facility. The Bloomington, Eden Prairie and Edina city councils recently agreed to share the half-million dollar price tag. It will be the most significant upgrade to the law enforcement and firefighting training center since it opened in Edina in 2003, according to Executive Director Debra Fields. Bloomington Police and Fire, Eden Prairie Police and Fire, Edina Police and Fire and Metropolitan Airport Commission Police jointly funded the $7.3 million construction of the facility, which includes shooting ranges, classrooms and the seven-story tower. The tower was plumbed to accommodate fire simulators on the first, second and sixth floors, but the sixth-floor burner was scrapped when the budget fell short of plans. “This is a big one and we’ve waited for a long time,” said Fields. Based on the size of each agency, the city of Bloomington will pay $225,000, Eden Prairie will pay $192,000 and Edina will pay $132,000. The Eden Prairie City Council approved its share in February and the Bloomington City Council in March. Edina gave the final go ahead May 3. The project also includes installation of a flashover simulator on the sixth floor. Both simulators are fueled by natural gas and are expected to be in place in about six months. Fire chiefs from the three agencies said the equipment is necessary for practicing high-rise fire response. There are several high-rise buildings in Edina, Eden Prairie and Bloomington. “High-rise fires are very, very different than typical structure fires,” said Edina Fire Chief Marty Scheerer, “but there’s not a high-rise fire trainer in the state.” “This will protect the firefighters, protect the cities, protect the structures and dramatically improve the training,” he said. Eden Prairie Fire Chief George

The sixth-floor of the tower at the South Metro Public Safety Training Facility in Edina, built in 2003, is ready for the installation of a fire simulator that will help local firefighters train for highrise fires. (Photo by Katie Mintz • Sun Newspapers) Esbensen said it used to be when older farm homes made way for residential projects, the fire department could get permission to use the structures to practice live firefighting skills. “Now there are less opportunities with the cities more developed and homes built closer together,” he said. High-rise opportunities are even fewer and farther between. Bloomington Fire Chief Ulie Seal, a longtime firefighter, said he recalls last drilling high-rise work some 20 years ago at a hotel slated for demolition near Interstate 494 and France Avenue. “Opportunities for high rise firefighting except for the real deal don’t come along very often,” said Seal. Seal said Bloomington Fire trains at the South Metro Public Safety Training Facility almost weekly, and still does exercises for high-rise response, like laying hose lines in smoke conditions in the stairwell and on upper floors. But being in the situation with actual flames can be very different. “It seems pretty simple, but one of the hardest things in a high rise fire is finding the place to hook in the hose,” said Scheerer. He said in flashover – when a fire reaches 1,300 degrees and everything in the room simultaneously ignites – the fire spreads across the ceiling. Firefighters have to be able to react in a split-second. “You have to get down really low to survive them to avoid the heat and flash,” he said. From an incident command and tactical perspective, Seal said there are also lessons to be learned, such as how to get enough firefighters to upper floors to launch an initial attack, and how to continue to supply them with air cylinders. “It’s a great simulation of an experi-

(Photo by Katie Mintz • Sun Newspapers) ence that hopefully we’ll never have here,” said Esbensen. “Our people will be in a position to react and have confidence in the fact they’ve practiced those tactics.” Fields said investing in improvements also benefits the member agencies financially. About half of the annual operating cost is covered by rental income – not the member agencies. As a premiere training facility, it will continue to generate user fees.

Currently, the facility collects more than $200,000 from public users for firearms classes and shooting range access as well as other firefighting and law enforcement agencies. Fields said the top three renters are Metro Transit, the Veterans Affairs Police Department and the Federal Air Marshal Service. The South Metro Public Safety Training Facility is located at 7525 Braemar Blvd., Edina.

EDUCATION VandenBerghe was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia during a doctor’s visit for a minor injury. He underwent five rounds of chemotherapy over seven months, endured numerous hospital stays as a result of several life-threatening infections, months of physical therapy and has managed to keep up with his high school classes through it all. He is currently in remission. VandenBerghe was pleased that the money raised went to Children’s Hospital. He said the money will be used to buy flat screen TVs, Xbox 360 systems, refrigerators and other items for patient rooms. The money was raised at a fundraiser on April 23, in which the lacrosse team helped customers of Kowalski’s Market with their groceries. All of the money raised went toward Children’s Hospitals and Clinics.

The Eden Prairie School Board and administration need relationship help The straw landed last week. During the May 9 Eden Prairie School Board meeting, toward the end of an already long night for board members and administrators, a board member asked a pretty simple question and didn’t get a response. Holly Parker asked why school board videos could no longer be downloaded from the school district website. They could only be viewed online, streaming. She had been asking the administration for a month, she said, and she hasn’t gotten a response. She didn’t get one during the meeting, either. Administrators and the superintendent just didn’t answer. Supt. Melissa Krull said she wasn’t going to answer; she wasn’t prepared. Parker kept asking questions politely, but the discussion became about what could be causing the video problem, how the administration should report back and so forth. Then, Board member John Estall, bless his heart, chimed in and said, “I’d like to suggest that there’s another issue going on here, and that other issue is the responsiveness of the administration to Holly’s requests,” he said. Thank you. Estall even said there should be a response from administration that night, at the board table. He thought that would be reasonable. Still nothing. I understand there is a lot going on in the school dis-

PAUL GROESSEL Community Editor Sun Newspapers trict. Plates are full. Everyone probably needs more, bigger plates. And, I’m not trying to single people out, and any relational problems aren’t purely the fault of one group or another. I mean, these are not the only board members who have publicly voiced a concern. Some individual board members probably have concerns they can’t publicly voice. That’s a whole separate column. Or book. Anyway, back to the straw. The school board, essentially, is the administration’s boss. I hate making it that black and white, but I think the reminder is warranted. Put simply, the school board votes on what should happen in the school district and the administration determines how to do it. Under the governance policy, the school board creates policies, and then the administration does its work under those policies and comes back to the school board later with what’s called a monitoring report. The report is a body of evidence and reasons the administrators feel they are in or out of compliance with a policy. Then, the school board (sometimes painfully) agrees or disagrees.

So, I ask, can the school board create policies to basically go see for themselves how things are going? Rather than having the administration be the only group that provides evidence, couldn’t the school board form their own criteria and compare it to the administration reports? There have been many times, last Tuesday included, when a board member will ask for an update, and the administration essentially says, “we’re looking into that” or “we’re not ready.” During the K-6 process, it was hard to get a sense of how decisions were made, and it seemed some school board members interested in getting a solid pulse on the process couldn’t find the right vein. For instance, when a task force is made (and we have seen many) couldn’t the school board get involved? Usually, administrators have created these task forces, and school board members aren’t on them. If the school board can form a task force, there’s a better chance it’s open to the public, and the board members can stay informed. They don’t have to micromanage; they could just sit in, read detailed notes – know what’s going on. Board updates don’t seem to be enough. I’m not an educator and I’m not an administrator. But it just seems roles of the school board and administration need some clarifying. Lines of communication need re-routing.

LETTER TO THE E DITOR Fewer complaints doesn’t mean less concern To the editor: A recent article in this newspaper regarding airport noise (“Changing winds at Flying Cloud Airport” March 17), made, in my opinion an erroneous conclusion. We were told that noise complaints are up significantly, but that the complaints are coming from fewer people. Therefore Rick King, at the time part of the Airport Advisory Commission, concludes “fewer residents see the airport as an issue in the community.” I respectfully disagree with his conclusion. The only thing we can conclude with certainty is one thing – fewer people complained! I would maintain that many people – myself included – have given up complaining because it doesn’t do any good. We have no evidence, regardless of all the fancy high-tech tracking, that anything substantive will ever be done. So, why should we continue rushing to phone to make a complaint?

It takes a lot to reach 30 years of marriage My parents will celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary Sunday, May 22. Thirty years. That, my friends, is a lot of years. Don’t tell my folks, but my siblings and I have been planning a surprise party. Again, don’t tell ’em. I’m trusting you on this. We’ve all got to keep it quiet. But anyway, I was working on the guest list, which included members of the family, friends from church, work and otherwise, even the dogs, and I got to thinking about how long 30 years really is and the dedication and resolve it must take to remain together that long. Think about it: how many of us can claim we’ve done anything continuously for, say, five years or two years or even a year? Heck, I couldn’t even finish writing up the guest list without hopping over to a computer to start typing out a column.

DAN CALLAHAN Managing Editor Sun Newspapers We’re flighty people these days, or at least I know I am. Sticking to anything is tough for most. Things just change so quickly and we’re all along for the ride. I’ve got friends who, in far less than 30 years, have had multiple careers and more than one marriage. That is a whole litany of sweeping changes. I’m not saying you have to stay the exact same way, doing the exact same thing, but sticking with something doesn’t mean being inflexible. For example, I know a fellow down in

DePuy Hip Implant Patient Seminar

He’s put in a solid half-century doing the same job at only a few different newspapers. He’s a typesetter by trade, and while both he and the job have changed some over the years, he’s adapted to it and gets the paper out each day with the same clockwork efficiency on a computer as he did when it was hot type. In the same vein, I’m fairly certain my folks are not the same people they were when they first got married. They’ve lived, changed and grown over time to be the people they are today. That’s perseverance, and, of course, they did it together. I’m no marriage expert, and don’t pretend to be an expert on anything, actually, but it seems to me that experiencing 30 years of life together is one heck of a thing. Congratulations, Mom and Dad.

OPINION OF FAITH

What’s an idol? BY DARRIN GEIER • GUEST COLUMNIST “Who got voted off last night?” For almost a decade now, it’s been a popular topic of conversation around the office and around the dinner table. The popular reality TV show, “American Idol,” has given us thrilling competition, high levels of drama and a look into the lives of musically talented dreamers, whose ambitions to make it big, we find easy to identify with. We get caught up in their stories, root for our favorites, and wonder what it would be like to experience fame like they do. Our attention and our hearts are easily captured. All this has gotten me thinking, however, about what our attention and our hearts are really meant to be captured by. In the Bible, the Old Testament talks a lot about idol worship. It was common for groups of people to create idols, or images or objects that represented gods. We read about God’s repeated warnings to the Hebrew people to steer clear of this kind of thing. Why? Well, God reminds us that he has created the world and everything in it. He is ruler over all things. He desires all of our love and devotion. He has created us to long for him, to be truly satisfied in Him alone; not by some thing we make on our own. One of my favorite passages of scripture lately has been Isaiah 46. In it, God reminds us of the futility in our

attempts to create gods for ourselves: “They carry it around on their shoulders, “and when they set it down, it stays there. “It can’t even move! “And when someone prays to it, there is no answer. “It can’t rescue anyone from trouble. (Isaiah 46:7)” Contrast this with the truth that only God can truly give us what we need. “I will be your God throughout your lifetime— “until your hair is white with age. “I made you, and I will care for you. “I will carry you along and save you. (Isaiah 46:4)” We’re reminded here that we were never meant to carry a god around. The things we create for ourselves, anything we let our attention and our hearts get captured by, are ultimately a burden to us. God is the one who should be doing the carrying. He sustains us and is the only thing that truly satisfies. Me? I want my heart to be captured by the adventure God has for me. The life he invites us all into is full of beauty and truth. He’s writing a script for me to which even “American Idol,” or anything else Hollywood dreams up, can’t even compare. Geier is the Director of Youth Ministries at Eden Prairie Presbyterian Church.

Police tracking suspect in residential burglary BY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS A leather jacket may lead police to the perpetrator of a residential burglary in Bloomington. Bloomington police were called to the 1800 block of Orchard Springs Road May 7 on a report of a residential burglary. The homeowners determined that their house had been entered overnight. A laptop computer was lying on the floor of the home office, but another computer and components were missing, Bloomington Police Commander Mark Stehlik said. Lights had been left on inside the house and power tools inside the garage had been moved to the base of the stairway inside the garage. Outside the house a leather jacket, baseball cap and duffle bag were found sitting near a storage shed. Unopened mail was found inside a jacket pocket, Stehlik noted. An opened bottle of rum and prescription bottles were found inside the duffle bag and a CD recorder from the home office was found lying in the grass outside the house, he added. Police received a separate report of a suspicious person door knocking at a residence on the 2100 block of Glenview Lane at approximately 6:50 a.m., Stehlik said. The man asked to use a phone to call a cab and appeared to have fresh scrapes and abrasions to his hands and knees, according to the

Legendary actress brings her grace to a stage at area school BY SUE WEBBER • SUN NEWSPAPERS A warm and gracious performing legend was honored May 12 with rapt attention from hundreds of students, and rousing standing ovations before and after her remarks. Julie Andrews, 75, an Academy Award-winning British actress known worldwide for her roles in “Mary Poppins,” “The Sound of Music” and countless other movies and plays, appeared at the Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley last week. Senior Ben Schultz, a Perpich theater student from Isle, Minn., who introduced the actress to the audience, spearheaded her visit through persistent communications with Andrews’ agent over a two-year period. “So many of us here look up to her as a role model,” Schultz said. “This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” Schultz is a devoted fan of Andrews, according to Sue Mackert, executive director of the Perpich Center. When Schultz first broached the idea of bringing Andrews to the Perpich Center, Mackert said, “He popped into my office and said, ‘Do you think we can get my most favorite person in the world to come to the Perpich? I saw her on Broadway, I have all of her movies, and I’ve seen ‘Sound of Music’ 24 times.’” Andrews called the Perpich School “a true legacy for the future.” “The arts revitalize us, inspire us,

and humble us, and are a bridge for us worldwide,” Andrews said. “Arts are the best common denominator. They’re a mirror to view humanity, to show us what we are, or what we were.” She said she views budget cuts in arts areas as “robbing children and young adults of the basic necessities of life.” “We have to vigorously support arts for our youth,” Andrew said. “Perpich is a shining example of what this country should model. You all believe in the arts and you have all come together.” Andrews answered a number of questions submitted by students. What was it like working with her director/husband, the late Blake Edwards, who died in December 2010? “We were married 41 years,” Andrews said. “Our wedding anniversary was the night before he went to the hospital. I had no idea it was the beginning of the end.” She described Edwards as a phenomenal film writer, who created the “Pink Panther” movies and a series of musicals, including “Victor Victoria.” “He had six ideas a day,” she said. “He was funny, but he also had a black, dark sense of humor. He was a very amazing man. I so admired his talent.” The couple did seven films together, she said. “Working with him was to feel very, ANDREWS: TO PAGE 16

Burglary FROM PAGE 13 report. A cab was dispatched to pick up the man, investigators learned. Upon being picked up, the man asked the driver to stop along the river bluffs so he could pick up a bicycle he had left parked nearby. The man disappeared for five minutes before returning with a bicycle, Stehlik said. The man’s destination matched the address found on mail inside the jacket pocket, he noted. Investigators had not made an arrest as of May 12.

Andrews FROM PAGE 15 very safe,” Andrews said. “He deplored directors who got in the way of the film. He always said characters make the story.” It was difficult to perform a love scene in front of her husband, however, Andrews said. “He would say, ‘That was wonderful, darling, but I know you can do better.’” Asked what advice she would give an aspiring actor or singer, Andrews said, “If you’re passionate about what you do, opportunities will float by when you least expect them. The best advice is to do your homework and to be ready.” She told the students she has few regrets and is still learning new things every day. “Sometimes I’m troubled about whether I really am who I am, and can I do it?” she said.

Asked by one student what people can do to make arts stronger in the public schools, Andrew said, “When you are 18, you should go out and vote. Vote for people who are passionate about the arts and will do something about bringing arts education into the schools.” Though she said her career has defined her life, Andrews said, “I am a mum. I have five children and nine grandchildren, and my family comes first. I don’t know any lady who doesn’t feel that tug. If all is well at home, I can happily go off and work. But I never put acting before my family.” She told the students she has never stopped being nervous. “You never stop learning, and I never stop being nervous,” Andrews said. “Everything I tackle is different. It’s all new as it comes to me. But it’s exciting, and very joyful. “It pleases me so much to make an audience feel great. If I can magically help them have a fabulous evening, that’s what I like to do.”

In addition to her considerable credits in movies and theater, Andrews has become the award-winning author of children’s books. “I had a voice operation 15 years ago that robbed me of the ability to sing, and I miss it very, very, very much,” she said. “But I love writing, particularly for children.” Andrews was scheduled to be at a book signing May 12 in Minneapolis for her current children’s book, “The Very Fair Princess Takes the Stage,” co-authored with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton. The two have written 13 books together. “It’s been such a joy,” Andrews said. “Some of the books have been adapted for the theater.” Prior to her remarks, Andrews received a bouquet of flowers from Maggie Hayes, 8, of Anoka, who is cast in the role of Gretel in a production of “The Sound of Music” in Anoka.

A 27-year-old Edina woman suspected of burglarizing a Bloomington business was arrested after fingerprints from a February incident matched hers. The woman, who was arrested May 5, is suspected of burglarizing Hallmark Cleaners, 2215 W. 90th St., Feb. 15. Police responded to an alarm at the dry cleaning business and found an unsecured door in the back of the store, Stehlik said. Inside, a cup containing coins was found lying on the floor of an office, and the office door appeared to have been pried open. The suspect drew further attention to herself when a patrol officer found her parked behind the building Feb. 25 at 3:14 a.m., Stehlik said. The woman told the officer she was there to watch for the burglary suspect, although there was no reason she should have had knowledge of the burglary, according to Stehlik. The woman was arrested the same day the crime lab analysis of the fingerprints was returned to Bloomington police. She was interviewed while in custody and said that she was a customer of the dry cleaner and used the adjacent coin-operated laundry, but denied burglarizing the business.

Vandalism A rock was thrown through the window of a Bloomington business May 8. A passerby reported the broken window of the entrance door at O’reilly Auto Parts, 9246 Lyndale Ave. S., on May 8. Police arrived shortly after 7 a.m. and found the window broken by a black rock inside the entrance of the store. Nothing was reported missing.

Pastor Rod FROM PAGE 1 final service (or “service to remember and never forget”), Sunday, May 15. SC: If I understand the history correctly, you were the first pastor called by the congregation. PR: That’s right. I was the first called pastor. I was not the mission developer. SC: Not the founder. PR: Yes. A classmate of mine was the mission developer ahead of me. And, it was the mid-70s and there was an energy crisis and a downturn in the economy and the Eden Prairie Center wasn’t going to make it and you know, this little group was kind forced away from the rented school space because the schools weren’t being heated on the weekends. So, it took two years to get 112 people together, 27 households, and it should have taken one year to get twice as many people, so they were off their profile. And so then, they chose to call me. So, I would be the first called pastor of the congregation, not the mission developer. SC: What kind of perspective are you leaving with? Is this what you had expected when you started? … Have you accomplished what you hoped? PR: I don’t know that I expected anything of what has happened. But, it has just been just a delight to grow up with the town when the population was much smaller, and to welcome people, one family, one household at a time. One experience at a time, one baptism, one confirmation, one marriage, one illness, one crisis, one funeral, whatever at a time, has been just an absolute thrill.

We’ve had some special things that have happened because we have some very special people in the congregation and very special people in the whole community. And, that’s what’s made our community an excellent place to live, which has been recognized in multiple ways. And also the strong churches that are here and all around us. There’s just really just an excellent community of wonderful people. SC: Where do you go from here? Not just necessarily what’s next … but how do you see your time away from St. Andrew? PR: Well, I’m going through – it’s a very emotional time, you know. I’m weeping and rejoicing all at the same time. You know, deep in grief and at the same time looking forward to relief. So maybe it’s grief and relief. Maybe it’s a time to change the pace a bit and imagine doing some other things. And, the well-worn statement about spending more time with your family, your children, your grandchildren is about as much of a truism you can find, at age 64 after 34 years in one place. My joy has been the privilege of serving six different kinds of congregations all in one place. In olden days, lots of pastors spent their ministries serving one kind of congregation in six different places. You know, going from a small congregation or a small town to another, to another to another: repeating. But here, it’s to grow up with the community and be a very small mission and eventually a multi-staff, multi-ministry environment, and eventually a relocating congregation, and eventually a congregation with, you know, its own church

camp and eventually a congregation with two sites, at St. Andrew and St. Andrew West. It’s been, you know, really exciting to go along that path. I don’t know if I answered your question, but it, you know, that leaves me with multiple emotions rolling through my heart and my mind at this time. SC: What do you expect for … I don’t want to call it [your] last service, now. PR: A service to remember and never forget SC: Yes. What can you expect or what are you thinking going into that? PR: Well, I expect that the worship will be a worship service of this community of believers, and I will lead the service and preach at the service, you know, drawing attention to and focusing on the congregation. Everything for the sake of the Gospel, for the sake of St. Andrew. Last and least for the sake of Pastor Rod and Jolene. And, we want St. Andrew to march forward with all the strength and all the hope and all the promise that this congregation has had all along. Just having a transition going forward that will result in some adjustments and some change, but we just have a tremendous staff, and a lot of staff with a lot of longevity, who have been here for a long time. So, St. Andrew will continue like a well-oiled mission, a well-oiled mission that’s going to continue to invite people under our kind of mission objective, invite people to come onto the Christ and go into the world, and to make their life count, make the church’s life count, everywhere and everything that we do. The service will be about St. Andrew. It won’t be about me. Now, I understand there’s this little surprise event in the afternoon that I have no idea, I have no control about. And, I’m sure they’ll roast and toast and all of those things. But, the worship is about our faith in Jesus Christ and our commitment to our Lord and our church and our joy to that. SC: … I’d imagine one of the bigger things you started or were involved with was the job transition group every Wednesday. What kinds of accomplishments do you seen in that? How have you seen it change with the different economies over the past 24 years? … PR: The story of its beginnings is interesting. There were five guys that played on the senior men’s baseball team that was sponsored by the Lion’s Tap, that’s 35 and over age group, and they won the state championship in August. Two weeks later by Labor Day, four of them had lost their jobs, and the fifth got throat cancer. Jack Stephan was his

name. And, Jack was that kind of go-to guy in the congregation that people went to when they lost a job, because he had been through job transitions. He had had his own business. He had lost his own business. He was a sought-after, Dale Carnegie speaker. He was encouraging. He was honest. He was open. So these guys begin to meet together in each other’s kitchens on Monday morning and read the want ads together in the paper – when there were want ads in the paper. And, they’d compare notes and say, “You know, here’s a good idea for you.” “Here’s a good idea for …” “Woah, why do you think that?” “Well I think so because – “ “Oh well maybe I will check on that.” So, you should never read the want ads alone. You should always be reading them with – four eyes is better than two, eight eyes is better than four, and you think together. Well, it didn’t take but a couple of months and they said “Well, this is kind of a spiritual journey, we should get Pastor Rod involved.” So they begin meeting at the church. And, here’s the observation. I’ve started other kinds of support groups, but this is the support group where we’ve met for 52 Wednesdays a year and never had a Wednesday where nobody showed up. In other words there’s always been a demand, and always been a need because there’s always transition going on. A second thing – it grew and it grew – but the second thing is that it really was a possibility to engage the whole congregation and create a culture of caring about employment transition. I mean if I were a country person, I’d be out riding around on a combine talking about the price of corn. But, here we’re in a community where there are corporations and start-up companies, and corporate sales and hostile takeovers and different kinds of language over the time – mergers, acquisitions. So, if I’m going to care about what’s going on in people’s work life, you know, I have to get engaged in that in some way. And, this has just been an amazing way. We have experienced those big spikes. We had a big spike at the dot-com crash before 9/11, where we had all of a sudden, very unexpected, 172 people show up on the same day. And, that was just a shocker. But that spike went down quite quickly. Then of course came the ‘08, ‘09 and the current recession, and again we spiked up to actually the very same number, 172 on a given week, on a Wednesday. PASTOR ROD: TO PAGE 19

FROM PAGE 18 SC: You count heads every week? PR: Yep, and we, and that’s more than we can handle. And, that stayed quite high, now it’s moderated some. But also, many, many groups have started. And some of them have patterned after our group, but each group really does their work in their own way, in their own uniqueness, and our particular group is pretty much about networking. And, other groups are, you know, designed to do more – maybe more resourcing or resume development or training. … SC: What else would you like to share with the congregation, with the community as you move on? PR: Well, I think you can only walk away saying, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” I mean the community and

congregation has been very good to me and my family. And it’s been a wonderful place for our family to be raised. It’s been a wonderful place to raise a congregation and a community of believers. My hope is that faith people will continue to be faithful and to be inviting and to be involved. And, that’s our mission here, to experience and express the invitation of the Gospel. And, that invitation in the language of “Come onto the Christ, go into the world.” Andrew invited his own brother Peter – our namesake Andrew – come, we found the Messiah, come onto the Christ. That’s the cross in our logo, the two fish; Andrew was a fisherman. And then the go into the world, Jesus said, “Go make disciples of all nations. Go and tell. Go be a fisher of people.” And, so, doing God’s work in the community is just our language. You can sum up the Gospel in two words: come and go. And, that’s the language that we’ve lived with and worked with all along.

Like any typical mom, Julia Sawyer, of Eden Prairie, spent the first year of her son’s life enamored by him, delighting in each new milestone. Then as he headed into his second year, she began to notice changes, setbacks. By 2.5 years of age, Sawyer’s son was diagnosed with autism. “He was considered pretty severe,” she said. “He couldn’t talk, didn’t make any types of babbling and just did a lot of hand flapping.” He also struggled with following directions. That’s when Sawyer met Tara Bertone. Sawyer said that was the beginning of the journey to where they are now today, with her son participating in the mainstream curriculum for seventh grade, participating in track and generally, a very smart 13-year-old. THERAPIES Bertone began working with autistic children in 1996 as a behavior therapist. She later earned her master’s degree in speech and language pathology. “I noticed kids either get a behavioral program or parents take their kids to speech, but the therapies were separate,” said Bertone. Throughout her education and experience, Bertone witnessed firsthand the benefits of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy as well as verbal behavior therapy but was disappointed by the lack of collaboration with speech-language pathologists. According to Bertone, although ABA professionals are proficient in teaching new skills, rarely did a speech-language pathologist play a significant role in the development of curriculum and program management, which are primarily language and communication-based. Her passion for helping kids drove her to create Autism Matters, a center that strives to address the disconnect between these two disciplines. “We did some research and found there were very few services in the area,” she said. “That was the catalyst to opening a center in Rogers.” Services include speech-language assessments, speech-language therapy, oral-motor therapy using TalkTools, VB/ABA intensive intervention, occupa-

tional therapy, academic tutoring, self-help skills training and parent training and resources. Sawyer’s son received therapies from the Minnetonka location, where Sawyer found having multiple services under one roof beneficial. Many autistic children are recommended to participate in 20 to 40 hours of intensive therapy that can be demanding on parents and families if services are located far away and scattered throughout the area. Another benefit for Sawyer was having her son’s therapists all on the same page and not having to go through the emotional and mental rigors of playing messenger between them. “If you’re taking your child to five different places, it becomes your job to ensure therapist A knows what therapist B is doing,” Sawyer said. “Here, they all meet with you as a team.” “The consistency piece is critical,” Sawyer said. “If everyone was throwing different stuff at him he wouldn’t have made the same level of progress. At Autism Matters, all the therapists use the same techniques and same philosophy.” Many times in other therapy plans treatment is set up so the focus is first on the behaviors. But Sawyer said she’s found Autism Matters to be unique in that Bertone approaches therapy from a mindset of improving the child’s communication and language skills first. NO CHILD ALIKE Autism Spectrum Disorders present themselves in such different ways from child to child. Sawyer said no two children with it necessarily look alike. There is also conflicting information on what causes it and what can be done for children to make progress. Because of this, Sawyer said the emotional toll is especially great. “With autism, you often already feel isolated by the time you receive your child’s diagnosis. You have probably withdrawn from doing some of the typical things parents do like play dates or outings because of issues with your child,” she said. She works to get the message to other parents going through this same journey that there is hope. “I was basically given no hope back then. I was told my child would never talk, and now he does,” she said.

There will be 25 volunteers who will guide blindfolded participants around the lake and talk about visual impairment. The participants will also use a cane to help along the way.

The blindfolded walks are meant to give just a sample of what it’s like living with a visual impairment. Sara said she first did it during a camp. “It was an incredibly frightening experience for me, so I thought it would be good to share the experience with other people … People need to learn the facts about LCA, because if they don’t, it’s never going to be heard,” Sara said. It’s a rare condition. Approximately 3,000 people in the United States have it, and 13-15 Minnesotans have it, Sara said. Her sister, 5-year-old Mary Rose, was diagnosed with LCA when she was just

a few months old. For Sara, finding out about her sister’s condition was shocking, as expected. After the shock came a stage of sadness, and then Sara wanted to do anything to help her younger sister. Sara said she hopes to become an orientation and mobility specialist, to help train those who are blind and the visually impaired to get around and travel independently. Information about the event, LCA, pre-registration and donations is available at the event website. Info: maryrosewalk.kintera.org.

Show FROM PAGE 14 He said military modelers often consult technical manuals from the period, newsreels, books, magazines and catalogs in their quest for accuracy. Streeter said the research he puts into modeling is a way of honoring veterans, something he reflects on especially as Memorial Day nears. When he does find a photo that shows a vehicle with its crew, the soldiers give the work meaning. “You think about that being what they rode off to battle in, what they lived in, worked in and tried to keep in good running condition, and many of them unfortunately died in,” said Streeter. “You look at their faces and wonder what their fates were. It’s so much bigger than modeling, but it’s a way I pay tribute to their efforts.

I make a connection with those faces.” The Minnesota Military Figure Society was founded in 1973 as a club and resource to promote the art and craft of historical scale modeling. It has more than 35 members from around the Twin Cities ranging in age from late teens to early 60s. The show Saturday, May 21, will feature some of the region’s leading modelers of miniature historical figures and armor fighting vehicles. “We have some excellent quality artists,” said Merrill Anderson of Edina, a member since 1987 and current club president. He said a highlight is a one-sixth-scale M5A1 Stuart light tank used by the U.S. during World War II. Bob Steinbrunn of Stillwater spent more than 2,500 hours over four and a half years creating and assembling the nearly 11,000 parts. “Boots and Treads II” is open to modelers of all skill levels. In addition to his-

torical armored vehicles and military figures, the club welcomes models ranging in topic from Roman soldiers to science fiction. Gary Anderson of Bloomington, a member since 1981, is a U.S. Navy veteran. While he primarily builds ships, he enjoys making “everything and anything.” He just finished a small squadron of skeletons from fantasy game Warhammer. “You dream up color schemes, build cloaks, put hair on them, cut off different segments of their bodies and add armor to customize it,” he said. “You just let your imagination go.” He said most modelers will use will use a variety of mediums to reach the desired appearance. For the skeletons, he used jewels to create glowing eyes. For a larger 1800s mountain man made of pewter, he used oil paints to achieve a natural looking face, and a combination of draftsman ink and denatured alcohol for the right

texture on a fringed leather jacket. Merrill Anderson said the club and show is chance for those who enjoy modeling – a “kind of quiet hobby” – to share techniques and be recognized for their work. Last year’s show was the first in 17 years. This year’s show theme is “Then and Now,” and modelers of all ages and skills are invited to bring in their earliest military model and one of their most recent works. Modelers of all skill levels are invited to participate and awards will be given to recognize quality efforts in modeling military figures of all eras, and armored fighting vehicles and military diorama subjects of the 20th and 21st centuries. Registration for modelers begins 9 a.m. and closes at noon. The registration fee is $3 per model. The show opens to the public at 11 a.m., with an awards ceremony at approximately 4 p.m.

Eden Prairie Veterans Memorial Committee – $2,500 The grant, and matching funds from the Veterans Memorial Committee, will be used to install a bronze “field cross” statute in the Veterans Memorial, said committee member Bill Dobbins. The field cross statute, made by sculptor Neil Brodin, is of two boots, with a rifle barrel stuck in the ground between them and a helmet hanging on top of it. Brodin created the pieces for the Veterans Memorial, which debuted November 2009. The committee took years to raise funds for the special memorial. Installation of the field cross will take place by Memorial Day, Dobbins said.

The second grant, for $2,000, will be used to purchase tents for families for a new program, the Great American Campout, which will take place late this summer at Lake Riley Park, according to Nicole Weedman with the Parks and Recreation department. The tents will be provided for families who do not have tents and may not otherwise have an opportunity to camp. City of Eden Prairie, Senior Center – $1,600 There has been a lot of re-organizing in the Senior Center woodshop and its many tools, said Recreation Coordinator Sue Bohnsack. To make sure people are safely using it, the foundation grant will be matched with Senior Center Advisory Council dollars to purchase a new, $3,000 table saw, which will include a saw stop, an added safety precaution to prevent accidents and injuries.

EP repeats as section True Team champion Sandle claims three firsts for first-place Eagle boys track squad BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Eden Prairie earned a spot in the State AAA Boys Track and Field True Team Championships meet after winning the Section 7AAA title last week. The Eagles will try to successfully defend their state True Team title at 4 p.m. Friday, May 20, at Stillwater High School. Eden Prairie won the section title with 844 points finishing 16 points ahead of second-place Minnetonka in the eight-team field May 10 at Wayzata High School. Wayzata placed third (789.5).

Eden Prairie nets top seed in Section 2AA tennis BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Eden Prairie’s boys tennis team earned the top seed in the Section 2AA tournament. The Eagles were scheduled to host a quarterfinal match at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, May 19, at Round Lake tennis courts. Semifinals and finals competition is Tuesday, May 24, at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter. “We should be competitive in the section tournament,” said Eden Prairie head coach Dean Rudrud. “We missed several of our regulars for various reasons during regular-season matches. “But everyone should be available for the section tournament. Minnetonka could be our toughest opponent.” Eden Prairie ended its regular season with a 3-1 Lake Conference dual meet record.

The Eagles defeated Minnetonka 5-2 in a recent match. Junior Scott Elsaas won his first-singles match and junior Ian English added a team point at fourth singles. Eden Prairie’s winning first-doubles team consisted of sophomore Yiding Hou and senior Michael Chen. Junior Kelvin Gu and junior Darek Johnson combined for a win at second doubles. Sophomore Sam Doud and senior Soham Shah won at third doubles. Eden Prairie pulled out a 4-3 victory over Hopkins in another Lake match. Elsaas and English were singles winners. Hou and Chen teamed for a win at first doubles. Doud and Shah were victorious at third doubles. Eden Prairie will also compete in the Section 2AA individual tournament beginning Thursday, May 27, at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter.

Eagle girls break school golf record Eden Prairie wins Prior Lake Invitational with 314 team score BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS It was a record-setting day for Eden Prairie’s girls golf team at the Prior Lake Invitational tournament May 11 at The Wilds. The Eagles not only won the meet championship by eight strokes but broke a school record with an 18-hole team score of 314. State power New Prague placed second (333) and Prior Lake was third (351) in the nine-team tourney. Eden Prairie’s Taylor Hoag finished second overall with a 1-overpar 73. Teammate Lizzy Hogan placed third (75). Eden Prairie’s other two counting scorers were Diane Gibas (83)

and Lucia Pederson (83). “I always knew our top two players Hoag and Hogan could shoot par,” said Eagle coach Marty Teigen. “But we had strong showings by our third and fourth players as well in the tournament. “It is a good day winning the team title, breaking the school record and finishing ahead of a strong New Prague team.” Eden Prairie defeated Wayzata 170-171 in a Lake Conference dual meet May 12 at Bent Creek. Hogan was medalist (38). Pederson shot a 43 and Haley Hogan carded a 44. Emily Stone came in with a 45.

Eagle badminton players vie for state honors Eden Prairie hosts state individual tourney Thursday BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Regular-season action is over for Eden Prairie’s girls badminton squad. Now the Eagles enter state competition with hopes to play the role of spoiler. Eden Prairie was seeded fifth into state team competition that was conducted May 17-18. The Eagles had a 9-5 record entering its first-round game against Minneapolis Southwest. “We hope to finish fourth or better at state,” said Eden Prairie head coach John Becker. “We won our last four matches of the regular season and feel good about our team’s chances heading into state competition.” Eden Prairie will host the state individual tournament at 9 a.m. Thursday, May 19. Eden Prairie concluded its regular season with two impressive wins. The

Eagles knocked off fourth-seeded Highland Park 5-2. Ziyue Chen won at first singles and Kaylee Damasin was victorious at second singles. Morgan Reese and Allison Becker combined for a win at first doubles. Cassie Deng and April Fard were victorious at second doubles. The third doubles team of Britta Monger and Samantha Prins also came through with a win. Those same two single players and three doubles teams were also winners in Eden Prairie’s 5-2 victory over Burnsville. Coach Becker expects his top singles player Chen and his No. 1 doubles team to vie for state medal honors in the individual portion of the tournament beginning today. “Chen was third at state in singles competition last season,” said coach Becker. “She is ranked second in state this season and should do well. “Our first doubles team of Reese and Becker is also ranked second heading into state.”

Cory Kronlokken of Eden Prairie earns Eagle Scout Award Cory Kronlokken, 16, will be presented with his Eagle Scout Award at an Eagle Court of Honor at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 18, at Prairie Lutheran Church in Eden Prairie. Cory began as a Tiger Cub in Pack 348 at Eden Lake Elementary School in 2000. In 2005 he earned his Arrow of Light, the highest honor for a Cub Scout, and then joined Boy Scout Troop 695 at Prairie Lutheran Church. He has held several positions of leadership in the Troop such as Patrol Leader, Troop Guide, and Camping Instructor. Cory earned 26 merit badges, 5 more than the required 21 badges to become an Eagle Scout. He was also nominated by his fellow Scouts to receive the honor of the Order of the

Arrow. His Eagle service project was completed for Prairie Lutheran Church in Eden Prairie. His project was to clean up a large area of the church grounds overgrown with sumac, scrub trees, and dead trees. He attended Many Point Scout Camp for 5 years. Cory also attended Philmont Scout Ranch near Cimarron, NM in 2008. Cory is the son of Mark and Carolyn Kronlokken of Eden Prairie and a junior at Eden Prairie High School. He has been a member of the Eden Prairie High School Cross Country Team, Young Film Makers Club, and various intramural sports. His scoutmasters have included Joe Polta and Erich Schwab.
